LA TIMES GRAND PRIX RACES The Los Angeles Times Grand Prix was a sports car race held at the Riverside International Raceway, in Riverside County, California. The race was held throughout the track's existence, from 1957 until 1987. The race was sponsored by the Los Angeles Times to raise money for its charities. The Special Events director was Glenn Davis, the winner of the 1946 Heisman Trophy. During the early 1970s, the event was the season ending race for the Can-Am series. Winners of this prestigious event included such racing icons as Caroll Shelby (1957), Roger Penske (1962), Parnelli Jones (1964), and Roger McLaren (1967 & 68).

32 ½ x 46 in. (81 x 117 cm) Silkscreen Condition: Excellent Dutch graphic designer and filmmaker Lex Reitsma (1958-) created the visual identity for de Nederlandse Opera (the Dutch National Opera) from 1990 to 2014. Reitsma’s opera posters have won numerous awards and were the subject of a 2014 exhibition at Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum. This 2001 poster for Lear, an operatic version of Shakespeare’s tragedy King Lear, features the quote (in Dutch): “‘Tis the time's plague when madmen lead the blind.”
Gordon Parks' pictures of showgirls matter simply because they're beautiful, and because they offer, as LIFE magazine noted, "living, breathing proof of the poet's point that beauty is its own excuse for being." His photos, in the end, is not that they offer oblique commentary on the drudgery of labor, or that they somehow reveal something about “show people” that we never knew. Parks’ color pictures are at-once charged with emotion and curiously prosaic. These are, after all, women with a job to do: the fact that they do it in front of avid audiences, while largely undressed, only makes the evident tedium of the work all the more poignant.
